Hormonal acne – what is it?
Hormonal acne, otherwise known as adult acne, affects people over 25. year of age. It is caused by fluctuations in hormonal balance (disruption of secreted hormones and their types). It is characterized by pimples mainly in the jaw area and on the neckline and back. Unfortunately, these skin lesions very often lead to the later formation of acne scars and hyperpigmentation.
